Very Disappointed
These stools are a perfect example of the need to see things in person and try them out before buying them. I purchased three of these counter-height stools for our extremely long kitchen island. They were so much larger in scale than I expected -- big, bulky, cumbersome and very heavy. I didn't want something light and delicate, but, at the same time, these stools are almost comically heavy and oversized. They're much too wide, and even at our very long island counter, they're a tight fit. They'e also not particularly comfortable. The leather seat is surprisingly not deep (especially given how wide the seat backs are). As a result, you tend to slide forward when seated. Overall, a big disappointment.

Read Before Ordering
Our house is majority Frontgate products and 90% of the items my wife purchases are very nice. We bought 6 of these bar stools for our home and I put them together and was not overly impressed with sturdiness of the stool to begin with. After 60 days I have had to retighten every single screw on the stool and make repairs to two support legs. I am a very handy person so these task where minor for me but if you don't have the ability to repair and maintain these stools on a regular basis I would not order them. The main problem is that the connecting bolts are very poor quality. Most of mine are already stripped out. For the amount of time these stools have been used I am disappointed with them. Don't get me wrong the leather is very nice and durable and I am not the type to complain about much of anything. I will be buying 24 new high quality bolts to attach all of my swivel seats properly. For the price of the stool I just expected better quality.

Well made and upscale
I have received 2 of these stools in the gray. Thanks to the other reviewer who gave detail on the color, I thought they would be perfect; and they are. The color is much more of a taupe. I am matching paint to the leather and the closest colors, if you want to see them before you buy, are Benjamin Moore colors 983 (smokey taupe) and 982 (cedar key). The stools are very well made. There is some simple assembly required. Nice feature that they have the memory swivel so they always look neat. They only (very slight) negative is that when you swivel, note that the wood of the chair stays stationary so you have to watch it a bit that you don't bump the wood with your leg. I am ordering two more.

Great barstools!
I ordered this barstool in black leather. I have been searching for stools for five years and finally found one that works! These stools are great quality and very comfortable. I love the swivel function. I was worried about no arms on the stool, but the seat back is quite deep, so you can still relax quite comfortably, despite the lack of arms. If you are looking for a substantial, contemporary stool with clean lines, this is the stool for you.

Beautiful stools!
I had been shopping for over a year for the perfect "classic contemporary" barstool.
When I ordered the stool in the gray color I was concerned that it might be too gray. They arrived today and I LOVED the color. It looks like a cream/bone color with a pale gray wash. The perfect neutral color! The quality and workmanship appear good.
I am very pleased with these stools.
